Definately a point lost.

That Bradford team is poop on paper and will be nowhere near the top 4 come the end of the season. On Yesterday's showing neither will Leeds.

I thought we played much better in defeat at Wigan last week, and really thought we would kick on from that. But the way we started last night was pathetic, no intenstity, no hunder, no urgency.

We have serious problems defending on our left hand side, where every time the bulls took the ball to that area, you felt a try was coming.

Only positive I took out of the game was Smith, which I knew would happen. We should have got Ali down that right hand side, not the left, in that last 10 minutes, and Smith would have had a field day. Our obsession with going left is bordering on ridiculous, as we are offering zero threat there at all.

Buderus going blind at the end, was not the problem with not getting the drop goal. It was never going to happen with the shocking offside that Bradford were, and the ref having no balls to pull it at the end. The main problem was JJB going for the drop goal twice, yet on the second time half the Bulls team were on the floor, had he thrown it to the right it would have been try hatrick to Mr Smith.

Unfortunately/fortunately, with your past postings on here, your opinion counts for jack sh[sizei[/sizet.

Strange - it didn't bother the ref for the preceeding 15-20mins

I know it didn't, but I was talking about the last minute, not the preceeding 15.

HTH.

Before the game I'd have said 1 point dropped, but enduring the frustration of the first 60 or so minutes it has to be 1 point gained.

I think once we get a bit of consistency in the 17, the timing will be back as well as the teams confidence in each other,we'll be pretty awesome again. I think Lee lived up to the hype on his return took his tries like he'd never been away. Sinny's try was exquisite.

Which coach would be most worried by that game? I think it would be Bradford's.

always take positives. the bulls cannot play better than that and we still should have sneaked a win.
hopefully we will get a settled line up and kick on from here.
as for the last play the markers were a yard apart! it was an obvious penalty.
we were unlucky with a few calls and every bounce of the ball seemed to go against us.
however a lot of teams would have thrown the towel in, its obvious to all the spirit is there.
a win on monday and we are back on track. lots to play for yet

Leeds will still win it despite now carrying a little timber within the squad, Ablett, Eastwood and Donald make that side considerably stronger than anything else in SL.

I also expect Buderus to come good if the coach has the balls to go with one hooker.

we miss donalds raw pace. smith and hall are great players but haven't real out and out pace from a standing start.
donald gives us that.

a big decision for bluey when he is fit. wouldn't shock me if smith moves to centre again

Smith is far more dangerous than either of them.

Smith should be fullback, with Webb in the halfs, and Burrow on the bench as impact hooker.

Leeds were very poor IMO and if it wasn't for some peices of indivdiual brilliance you wouldn't of gained a point if i were a Leeds fan i'd be worried.

Im not worried but I'm getting angry! if any team turns the ball over like we are this season they would struggle to win. the fixes are easy, but for now it's getting a little frustrating to watch.

Why??
This team have earned our trust and if there's ANY team in this league you never write off it's US.
We are struggling for cohesion and form but there are other factors to consider so no i'm not overly worried and i'm sure in the cold light of day many other Rhino fans are the same.

I for one will NEVER wire off Leeds but if you replay the game last night you will no what i'm talking about.

I have mate and it's exactly what i thought poor for an hour but a great comeback with great spirit and a bit of quality.
It shows we have it and that when we do click we can do some damage plus the bonus of the returning players getting a match under their belts still like i said no need to worry at all afterall other teams will hit a slump and have injuries so still all to play for.

True like i said i'll never write of Leeds, best team in comp.
